That's good, I thought possibly the abrupt forced stall might have caused the belt to break or jump (If it jumped you would get strange backfires). It sounds like the distributor internals are working, but you need to verify it. First, verify there is no spark at the coil wire by removing it from the distributor & holding it close to an engine ground while you crank the engine. Then you will need to find a LED test light, available at most automotive stores and test the center wire on the distributor wiring harness. Plug the connector back in to the distributor & backprobe (tap into) the center green/white wire with the other end of the test light hooked to battery positive. When the engine is cranked the light should flash. You might also want to take the time to closely examine the coil unit for signs of overheating and burned wires.
